"Heroes" (David Bowie)


I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be Heroes, just for one day

And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers, and that is that

Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time,
just for one day
We can be Heroes, for ever and ever
What d'you say?

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing,
nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes,
just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns shot above our heads
(over our heads)
And we kissed,
as though nothing could fall
(nothing could fall)
And the shame was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes,
just for one day

We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes

We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying,
then you better not stay
But we could be safer,
just for one day

Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh,
just for one day


Io, io sarò re
E tu, tu sarai la regina
Sebbene niente li porterà via
Li possiamo battere, solo per un giorno
Possiamo essere Eroi, solo per un giorno

E tu, tu puoi essere mediocre
And I, I drink all the time
Cause we're lovers, and this is a fact
Yes we're lovers, that's it


Though nothing will keep us together We could steal 'time,
for one day We can be
heroes, forever
What do you say?

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim Though nothing
,

nothing will keep us together We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day


I, I will re
And you, you will be queen Though nothing will drive them away

be us, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns shot above our heads

Bowie said that the song was inspired by a young couple who met secretly in the guard tower of the Berlin Wall and that he was watching from the window of the recording studio. According to Tony Visconti, his producer, the couple in question was himself and a girl who had a history during recording. The use of quotation marks in the title could have an ironic meaning.
